| Allison Fuss Mellis examines how Northern Plains Indian communities subverted the goals of federal assimilation policy by transforming an indigenous equestrian way of life into a ranching and rodeo culture that perpetuated traditions of intratribal and intertribal gathering and competition. Mellis focuses on how the Crow and Lakota communities made rodeo into a native tradition. |
